Down the line, our 3 selections & split em. We were seated within 20min of arrival. Our wait staff was friendly & efficient. Food came up in a reasonable time & everything was great, ESPECIALLY the sandwich the hubs got. Hands down the beat dish we had on this trip.

They do have a ATM inside for a 2$ fee which was a tad annoying but it is what it is. After coming in I was quickly sat by a very friendly waitress and she quickly took my order. The food came out pretty quick and it was delicious.. the bacon was probably some of the best restaurant bacon I've ever had, the 6 oz steak was well seasoned and tasted great. Their homemade/sliced potatoes were yummy and crispy. Overall I'd give this place a 5/5 with the only gripe being the cash / atm. I'll be back for sure if I'm in the area!

Service was a bit slow and our kids kept asking when the food would get there. I had to keep reminding them they were busy. They stayed busy playing the free pacman game in the back. Love that it was free. The restaurant itself has so much more potential with the 80s vibe than what they had. It was a bit rundown but overall fun to tell my kids about. They had some where's Waldo prints in each booth and some 80s trivia cards. The food itself was average. Nothing spectacular but decent. I had the pancakes with the yogurt. Kids had waffles and bacon.

It was delicious from the French toast to the steak and eggs to the burgers, and boneless chicken wings. They have a full bar and we ordered a Bloody Mary and it was accompanied by a beer chaser and it hit the spot. We ordered hot chocolate for the kids and I took a sip surprisingly it was delicious so I ordered one for myself. This small quaint restaurant was setting a new standard for delectable delicious dishes and our wait staff was friendly and attentive. You can forget ambience because the restaurant has no character but what it lacked in character it made up for it 100x over in the service and the food!!! So overall this place was amazing compared to my experience two years ago. The icing on the cake is 4 adults and 3 children ate for under 100.00 bucks! In a world of big companies and corporate greed support this small business your palate will thank you!

We were so fortunate that they were able to seat us on the outdoor patio facing the water. This restaurant isn't just great for the views--the food and drinks here were phenomenal as well. Our appetizers of beer-battered cheese curds and mussels were so flavorful and hit the spot. We also loved our fish tacos and linguini with scallops (I absolutely loved the crushed red pepper that came with it too!). Our food all paired nicely with their extensive cocktail/drinks menu, which included many different breweries and distilleries. This is one of those restaurants you'll remember visiting forever--definitely come visit if you can!

Kind of torn on this review…read more Grounded has a great patio and well-priced drinks. I just would say I haven't been super impressed by their drinks. I tend to prefer places that make some of their own syrups, etc. and from what I can tell, Grounded doesn't really do much from scratch, which is fine, just not my preference. Their drinks are usually good. I was kind of disappointed to see their even their seasonal specialty drink was not a homemade syrup. My biggest complaint is their cold brew is super weak/too watered down. Service is usually okay, cleanliness is usually okay as well. I do love their expanded hours, so we do stop here when others are closed.

Back then, it was our little ritual, cozy mornings with warm drinks and big feelings, just the two of us figuring out a new chapter one sip at a time. She'd order something with way too much whipped cream, and I'd pretend I wasn't tearing up over how grown-up she looked holding her cocoa. Now? We still go, only these days, she brings her friends, and I'm just along for the ride, and maybe to pay. It's gone from quiet catch-ups to full-blown coffee shop photo shoots with her crew. And honestly? The lighting in there gets it. The huge windows, the plants, the downtown charm, it's practically begging for cute, candid best friend pics and "caught laughing but obviously posed" moments. The vibe is warm, welcoming, a little artsy, and always buzzing in the best way. Whether we're talking about life, school, crushes, or just sitting in that comfortable silence that only comes with time, Grounded feels like home. A beautiful, caffeinated home with oat milk options and the occasional scone we swear we're splitting, but somehow I never get half. Grounded isn't just a coffee shop to us. It's a memory maker, a tradition keeper, a growing-up landmark in latte form.

The service was good and all of that. The food was also fine. The waffle with berries and lemon looked amazing. The flavors were good, though I felt that the waffle itself needed to be a bit more substantial. Then we had a veggie burger which it's awesome that they do a custom burger pattie and not just one of those standard plant-bases fake meats. It was decent. I would have preferred fries instead of chips, but that wasn't an option. Oh, the latte was pretty good. You get a pretty huge cup for $5. Maybe next time I'll have to check out the evening vibe. Good stop before hitting the road.
